Origin and history

The Pantin mansion is a building built between the 3rd quarter of the 18th century and the 1st quarter of the 19th century. Located at 57 Charles-Auray Street, it embodies the civil architecture of this pivotal period between the Ancient Regime and Industrial Revolution. Its facades and roofs, listed in the inventory of Historical Monuments by decree of 21 December 1984, testify to a preserved heritage despite the urban transformations of the Seine-Saint-Denis.

The location of this private hotel, near the impasse in Romainville, reflects the gradual urbanization of Pantin, then on the outskirts of Paris. At that time, private hotels often served as residences for local bourgeois or notables, while being able to accommodate economic or administrative activities. Their presence marked social prestige in rapidly changing communes, such as those in the Paris suburbs under the influence of political and industrial revolutions.

Today, this hotel is owned by the municipality of Pantin. Although the sources do not specify its current use (visits, rentals, etc.), its status as a Historic Monument makes it a key element of the Seine-Saint-Denis architectural heritage. The accuracy of its location, assessed as "a priori satisfactory" (note 6/10), makes it possible to situate its importance in the historic urban fabric of the city.
